So you've put the macros file as /usr/share/man/tixman.macros. That's
sensible. Now you want the manpages to use this file?
The thing to do is to edit the man-pages to the line that says:
.so man.macros
becomes:
.so tixman.macros
Doing this with sed in the rules file should be pretty
straightforward.
HTH,
